I wouldn't call the Silmarillion (spelling?) boring, it's just slow and difficult to read. It gets better as you go on though.
I agree .
As MacGothmog stated, the page numbers may vary. This may help though (
roughly the number of pages of my versions):
The Fellowship of the Ring (
425-
525 pages)
The Two Towers (
350-
440 pages)
The Return of the King (375 pages
without Appendix, 530 pages with (I think)
full Appendix (A-F))
Note:
These pages were from the hardback books with all three parts in it (FotR,TT and the RotK),
while these were from the single paperback versions. I don't know if this changes the page numbers or anything. The Return of the King page numbers were the same in both versions.
The Hobbit (365 pages) - although I think my version has a larger font than others.
The Children of Hurin (260 pages without Appendix, 315 with Appendix) - not including artwork by Alan Lee.
Note: The maps and index in all of the books are not included in the page count, but the forewords/synopsis are.
I hope this helps.
Unfortunately I don't own a copy of the Silmarillion, so I can't help you there.
